ImmobiZyme™ Platform for Enzyme Recycling in Bioethanol Production
SBC: GUILD ASSOCIATES INC Topic: 88Bioethanol plants face several challenges to meet their operating costs and remain profitable. As the industry matures and becomes more cost competitive, risk-management, improving efficiency, and reducing operation costs have become higher priorities of plant operators. The majority of bioethanol produced in the U.S. is corn-based. Ground corn is treated with alpha-amlyase and gluocamylase to red ...

Developing a non-contact, fault detection system for airblast-type orchard and vineyard sprayers with simplistic visual operator interface
SBC: APPLICATION INSIGHT, LLC Topic: 813Nozzle clogging on orchard and vineyard sprayers is a problem that often isn't addressed until the nozzle(or multiple nozzles) are inoperable to the point that an operator can visually detect the fault. By then anunknown portion of the field has been sprayed inadequately since the fault was not immediately detected.We propose a technology that continually monitors a sprayer via imaging and which w ...

Radar Monitoring of Honey Bees for Early Warning of Health Issues and Colony Collapse
SBC: GHOSTWAVE INC Topic: 813If a single factor can be identified that is harming honey bees in the U.S. it is the parasitic Varroamite (Varroa destructor). Varroa was first detected in the U.S. in 1987 and spread throughoutNorth America soon after. Varroa mites feed and reproduce on developing bees under theprotection of wax cappings which harms the bee directly but mites also vector highly virulentforms of honey bee viruses ...
